FORT MALONE.
Capt. Jack Crawford Has Something to Say About
the 18th Pa.

The 18th Ia.
EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: Many COM
rades are claiming for their regiments the honor
of capturing Fort Malone, and each seems to
have been right there" but it seems to have
escaped their memory that the 18th Pa. which
was stationed at :" Fort He'll" Tor Sedgwick),
was the first 10 enter that fort. As the Colonel
of the 18th Pa, George w. Gowan, mounted the
ramparts he was killed and fell into the arms
of Corp. BartO and Private McVey, of my COM
pany. This was before daybreak. Iasssted in
carrying Col. Gowan to the rear, and while re-
turning with a load of canteens filed with
coffee and part of box of ammunition was
wounded in the foot by fragment of a she'll
As soon as Col. Gowan fell, the Captain
Of my company, Little Jack" Williams,
sprang TO the spot where our gallant commander
fell and shouted, Come on, boys, the rebels
are going" and minute later the guns were
turned OH the retreating enemy by Cos and
+ of the 4Sth. The regiment occupied the fort
from 4:30 o'clock in the morning until o'clock
in the evening, when it was relieved. If any
prisoners were taken we never knew it; and as
for the seven charges made by A. Il. Hill, as
spoken of by Comrade Cox, they were exceed
ingly weak. if they could DO called charges, as
that officer was too intently engaged in getting
his command started on n retreat, leaving after
our charge only sufficient troops 10 make a sort
of showing and cover his retreat.
When i reached the field hospital at Fort
Davis / saw Gen. Potter, who commanded our
division, and who was badly wounded. Before
reaching the hospital President Lincoln aud
one of his sons passed the stretcher on which
lay; and inquired where Gen. Potter could be
found. The ambulance containing the wounded
General was pointed out 10 him, and he at once
went TO see him.
1t seems strange that cannot recall any OF
the regiments mentioned by COmrado Cox ms
taking part in the capture of Fort Malone. and
il seems strange thatlhe should plant the First

was certainly occupied by the First Brigade
Second Division, for the latter lay directly in
front of the fort all Winter. The 46th Pa. and

About Col. Murphy.

John F. David, Co. /, 62d H., Bainbridge,
Neb., thinks that the comrades who defend
the action Of Col. Murphy at Holly Springs,
have no solid ground to stand upon. He says
Col. Murphy's action there was wholly unjusti-
fable, and he deserved the punishment that he
suffered.
I. s. Weednan. Co. F, 2d Ill. Cav, Farmer
City, H., does not agree with COmrade Wilcox
that Col. Murphy suffered injustice in the
treatment he received for his conduct at Holly
Springs. The writer says none Of the 9TH III.
Cav. were at that place, but about 500 of the ID
Ill. Cav. were there. The writer reviews at
some length the circumstances of the surrender,
and expresses in strong language the opinion
that Col. Murphy's action cannot DO just lied,
and that he fully deserved his punishment.
Christian Stalt, Co. C., I'd Ill. Cav, correcting
Comrade Wilcox, says that four companies of
the % Ill. Cav. were engaged in the affair at
Holly Springs with Van Dorm. They cut their
way out, and were not captured.

The Atlanta CAMPAIGN.

J. z. Durscomb Co. G, Both Ohio Wauseon,
o., says that his regiment has been ignored by
the comrades who have written of the battle
of Atlanta. He says it participated in that
engagement and lost heavily.
j. V. Perdew, Co. II, 05th Ohio, Eagle, Mich,
referring to the statement of Comrade Grim
shaw, sd Ohio, that the Third Brigade, Second
Division, Fourteenth Corps, crossed Peach Tree
Creek and did some hard fighting before any
part of the Twentieth COrps crossed says that
the Third Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth
Corps, crossed Peach Tree Creek about 10
o'clock on July 20, and engaged the enemy at
noon. If Comrade Grimshaw did any fighting
earlier he was very quiet about it.
S. Rynearson. Captain, Co. G, 18th Iowa, Get
tysburg o., referring to the statement that
Crocker's Iowa Brigade crumbed at the battle
of Atlanta says the statistics of the battle show
there were more dead rebels in front of that
brigade at night than there were men in the
brigade in the morning. He says it is the first
time he ever heard that the brigade was de-
mOralized.
Daniel Sims, Knapp's battery, California Pa,
disputes the claim of many comrades that Gen.
Polk was killed by q shot from SimOnson's 18th
Ind. battery. He says there were five batteries
in line, all belonging to the Twentieth Corps
engaged in shelling the hill. Gen. Gcary
called the attention of the Captain of Knapp's
battery to a crowd of officers on the hill and
directed shot to be fired at them. Corpl
William p. Atwell sighted No. 5 gun, and. the
writer claims, fred the shot that killed Gen.
Polk.
NJ. L. Calkins, Co. G., 136th N. Y, Perry, N.
Y, says that the fighting at Peach Tree Creek
was over before the main body of the Third
Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth Corps, ar
rived. Only the skirmish-line of that brigade
was engaged.
Charles w. Hull, Co. A, 18th Ohio, Martins
burg o., says that at Atlanta, July %, two
pieces of De Gress's battery were sent to an
other point of the line, the remaining four
pieces being supported by the Second Division
Of the Fifteenth Corps. These were captured
when that division was driven from the works,
and were recaptured by the First (WOods's) Di-
vision Of that corps.

Dan COhman, Sergeant, Co. g, 10th Ohio,
Sterling, Kan, wishes to remind his comrades
of the 10Th Ohio that the 10th did quite as
much as any other regiment in reeapturing the
works at Franklin. The 10th was tempo
rariIy attached to Opdyekes Brigade, Lieut.
Col. Dan Mccoy was wounded, and many men
were killed or wounded.
Saml Pearman, 18th Ind. battery, Sabetha,
Kan, says it was his battery that did the
"sweet" shooting at Nashville on the second
day of the battle to which COmra1e Phelps re-
ferred in his article, and @. w. Hendricks was
the best gunner who sighted gun that day.

Secretary Manning's illness dates

Lamar, EndicOtt and Bayard left for

tary Manning remained, however, for
conference with the president, which
was protracted for several hours after
the other members had departed. No
one has ever been able to learn exactly
what was discussed between the chief
magistrate and the secretary of the
treasury, but it was currently reported
at the time that federal patronage in
New York and more Vigor-

city less than mile from McAuley's
family residence. McAuley went home
occasionally to his wife. but Mrs. Mackin
mOnopolized most of his time. Mrs.

PARIS, Dec. "a. = President Carnot
grows more popular every day. He
takes long walks through the boule-
wards of Paris and cordially inter-
changes greetings with every one who
accosts him. He is invariably accom-
panied by Gen. Brugere, his military
secretary, and yesterday the pair
stopped at Brauns' and were photo

president was cheered to the echo,
and was compelled to halt at

history of the feud, but it seems that
the Terry brothers, five in number. liv-

intimidated the community. They
have been charged with various crimes,
including horse stealing. and finally
vigilance committee was organized to
drive them out of the country. The
Terrys, with their friends, over
awed the leaders of the regulation

their ground. Two weeks ago one of
the Terrys was shot from ambush and

to witness his passing away, it was
deemed best to summon the household,
and, in the presence of his family, at
1:39 this afternoon, Mr.. Manning quietly
and gently ceased to breathe. The
mayor of this city issued the following
this evening in regard to ex-Secretary
Mannlng's death:
Mayors Office, Albany, n. Y, Dec.
24-To the Citizens of Albany: Our
foremost tOwnSman is no more. Daniel
Manning is dead. The great heart which
loved Albany is done with its throbbing.
The mighty brain which devised wise
plans for nations money is at rest.
Content with a private condition, he rose
to national eminence. Free from ambi-
ton he was intrusted with power.
Modest and unaSSuming he stood before
kings. His career has reflected luster
upon our city. His ascent to honor has
marked way for our youths moved by
honorable desire. In the literature of
mourning we can find no expression to
tell our sorrow. The most we can do is
to adopt the customary symbols and
wear the common emblemS which speak
of grief and affliction. Therefore you are
requested to display the ordinary signs
of mourning, and to cease from your
usual employments during the hours OF
the funeral exercises.
JOHN BOYD THATCHER, Mayor.
The funeral OF Daniel Manning will
take place Tuesday, Dec. 81, at 2p. m,
from st. Paul's Episcopal church.
All through the late afternoon and
evening kilograms expressing sorrow
and bereavement were received by Mrs.
Manning and James H. Manning. Many
notes of coincidence from AlbanianS and
state officers were also received, among
which were the following:

the position OF affairs very fully,
dealing especially with the Hudson Bay
railway bonds irregularity and stating
with great sincerity that while he recOg-
nized that it was this matter which was
driving him to the wall, he was in no
way to blame. He said that in handing
the bonds over he had acted only on the
telegraphic authority of his colleague,
Mr.. Lariviere. He announced his in
tentiOn of moving for an inquiry when
the house met, and had no doubt he
would come off more than conquerer.

of the province. He would be found
fighting for that road until it was
an accomplished fact, as he believed it
was the only effective weapon with
which to break the monopoly. A per-
feet understanding has been arrived at
with his colleagues. He has resolved to
tender his resignation to the lieutenant
governor at an early date, and Mr.. La
Riviere would do the same. In tender
ing his resignation to his honor he
would recommend him to call upon DR..
